ABSTRACT Wagner Z. and PavEek J.: Vapour-liquid equilibrium in the carbon dioxide system at high pressure. Fluid Phase Equilibria,

ethyl acetate

Vapour-liquid equilibrium data in the carbon dioxide - ethyl acetate system were measured isothermally at 303.15K, 313.15K, and 323.15K at pressures ranging from 2MPa to 9MPa. The experimental data were fitted to the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state adopting a maximum likelihood procedure.

INTRODUCTION Carbon dioxide is a perspective solvent for supercritical fluid extraction. Due to its nontoxicity and low critical temperature it can be used for extracting natural materials, mainly in food and pharmaceutical industry. Carbon dioxide has rather simple molecule with zero dipole and nonzero quadrupole moment. It can be used for development and testing of statistical thermodynamical models. For this purpose experimental data are needed. It is important to have information on vapour-liquid equilibrium of carbon dioxide with different groups of compounds. In this work we selected ethyl acetate as a representative of esters. It can be found from the bibliographical database by Wichterle et al. (1993) that no high-pressure vapour-liquid equilibrium data for this system are available. APPARATUS Measurement of high-pressure vapour-liquid equilibrium was performed in a static apparatus described previously by Wagner and Wichterle (1987) which was slightly modified.

Temperature of the equilibrium cell, located in a thermostatted bath, was measured by the Systemteknik S 1220 digital thermometer that was calibrated against a platinum resistance thermometer Leeds & Northrup provided with National Bureau of Standards certificate. The accuracy of temperature measurement was within 0.002K of the temperatures on the ITS-90. ~quilib~um pressure was measured by means of bourdon type Heise pressure gauges with ranges 5 MPa and 10MPa respectively, with declared hysteresis 0.1% of the full scale range and repeatability 0.001 MPa. The investigated system was separated by a pressure transducer manufactured by Ruska Instrument Corp. from an air reference system. The air counterpressure is controlled automatically. Sampling of both phases was based upon the capillary technique developed originally by Lhotak and Wichterle (1981). The latest modification is fully described by PavlEek and Richter (1993). The capillaries were removably connected to a heated mixer where the sample was mixed with the carrier gas. The carrier gas with the dissolved sample flows through the chromatographic six-way sampling valve. The analyses were carried out on the Hewlett-Packard gas chromatograph HP 5880 A using the column packed with 15% l,Z-bis(2-cyanoethoxy)ethane on Chromaton N-AW. Response factors of a thermal conductivity detector were determined by injecting a known amount of pure components.

EXPERIMENTAL Carbon dioxide (Chemical Works Litvinov) was analyzed to have purity greater then 99.9% and was used without further purification. Ethyl acetate (Lachema Brno, Czechoslovakia), p. a., was refluxed with acetic anhydride (about 1 ml per 10 ml of ester) and fractionally distilled on a 30-plate column packed with glass helices. Purity was tested by gas chromate raphy to B be greater than 99.9%; refractive index and liquid density were n293.15K = The literature values as 1.3725 and p2Q3.15K = 0.89458g/cm3, respectively. reported by Timmermans (1950 and 1965) vary from 0.89446 to 0.89468 g/cm3 for the liquid density and from 1.37239 to 1.3728 for the refractive index.

Vapour-liquid equilibrium data were measured isothermally. The cell was first evacuated and then filled with the liquid component. The traces of dissolved air were removed by repeated charging the cell with carbon dioxide to pressure about 0.5MPa and evacuation. Afterwards the cell was charged with carbon dioxide to the desired pressure. The contents of the cell were intensively stirred until both temperature and pressure remained constant for 10 minutes. The sampling system was flushed with carrier gas before analysis of each phase. The liquid phase was always analyzed first because it caused smaller pressure drop (approx. 0.002 MPa) than the sampling of the vapour phase. The results of measurement are presented in Table 1 and the P-x,y diagram is depicted in Figure 1. DATA REDUCTION The Soave-Redlich-Kwong form (Soave, 1972) 1 Z=m-bp-(l

However, the parameter a is temperature dependent and therefore the classical mixing rule for a does not mix constants. We therefore adopt the method suggested by Kwak and Mansoori (1986) wh ic h was used by Wagner and PavliEek (1993). Equation 1 is then rewritten into the form 2=--P 1

The modification by Graboski and Daubert (Eqn. 10) differs from the original version in numerical constants. Graboski and Daubert evaluated them from the temperature dependence of vapour pressures of pure hydrocarbons. Therefore we prefer this equation to the original version of Soave. However, it will not influence the quality of fit, it only may slightly change the values of the interaction parameters. The critical constants and acentric factors of the pure components were taken from Ambrose and Townsend (1978) and are summarized in Table 2.

For this reason we adopt maximum likelihood procedure assuming that the measurement errors in all variables are additive and uncorrelated, possessing normal distribution with zero mean and known variance obtained from the analysis of the precision of me~urement, The parameters are then determined by means of an iterative procedure proposed by Rod and Han61 (1980).

DISCUSSION The results of the fit is shown in Table 3. The solid lines in Figure 1 represent the isotherms calculated using the interaction parameters kiz, 112, and ml2 obtained from the correlation. It can be seen that the agreement is quite good, only the calculated critical presure for 323.15 K is higher than the experimental value.
